To all whom it may concern Beit known that I EDGAR J KUBIOEK, a citizenof the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cookand State of Illinois,- have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Holders for Neckwear, of which the following. is aspecification.

Thisinvention relates to a holder in which neck ties, lace collars, andother'like articles can be stored, in a manner which will preventwrinkling, and protect from dust, the articles so stored. 1

The gbjects of the invention are, to, obtain an easily understood andsightly device, which is durable, economical, not liable to break orget'out ofjorder, and operable by persons 1 not particularly skilled'in' mechanics. i I have illustrated a device embodying the invention inthe drawing accompanying and forming a part of this specification, inwhich Figure 1' is a front view, with a portion of thelcasing of thedevice-broken away to expose the Working members to view, at one endthereof. Fig. 2 is a plan of the blank from which the base of the deviceis formed up. Fig. 3 is a plan of a blank from which the casing which isattached to the base is formed up.. Fig. 4 is a vertical section on line4-4 of Fig. 5', (but showing a section of the entire shell of thedevice), viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows.

And Fig. 5 is a section online 5' 5 of Fig. 4, viewed in the directionindicated by the arrows.

l A reference character applied to designate a given part indicates saidpart throughout the several figures of-the drawing, wherever the sameappears.

A is the base blank, Fig.2). Blank A is provided with ears B, B whichare bent, on lines I), to stand at an angle of ninety degrees from thecentral body partof said blank'. To give a finished appearance to thebase'of the device the parts or ears D,'D respectively, are bent ordoubled over (on lines ol), onto the body part of blankA'. "Ear .Dperforms an additional function, to.wit, to hold blank or part G,

(hereinafter described) thereto, by one edge of said blank G.

Ears B,.B are provided'with additional I ears, F, F, and f, f, which arebent on lines cl.

Ears F are bent to an angle of ninety degrees to the body part of saidears B, B and ears f are doubled over on to said body parts. Said. earsf, f, are,-primarily, to take away the raw edge of said ears B, B wheresaid edge is exposed to view in the completed device.

G is a blank forming-the upper part of the shell or casing of. thedevice. H is an car on blank G which is bent on line It to'stand at anangle of substantially ninety degrees from the body part of saidblank. 7

H I, and I are additional ears on blank G, which are bent over, ordoubled on to the I is so deter- B, B when parts A and G are assembled,

(see Fig. 5), thereby preventing said ears B,- B from bending outwardfrom said plane which is at right angles with the body part" of blank A.To hold the edge of part G which is provided with the hem, as it iscalled in the art, obtained by bending the art H over onto the body ofblank or part (x is held firmly, at. its ends, to the ears B, B by theears F extending underneath said hem, .as is well illustrated in Figs. 4and 5.

Ears B, B, are provided with apertures J, j, and'K is an ordinaryspring, curtain roller which is secured between said ears, saidapertures, 1n the common way of hang-' ing spring curtain rollers.

within, said curtain lL when said curtain is wrapped around roller K, inthe ordinary way of wrapping a curtain around spring rollers.

To use the device a neck tie, or lace collar, isplaced on bar M,substantially as illustrated in Fig. 1; and said curtain L is woundaround roller K, as described. 1

vided with ends adapted to fit to said roller,

said bar attached to said curtain and arranged to stand out from thecurtain when said curtain is unrolled from said roller.
